TTC after miscarriage thread 13 💕🌈✨💛

@Bubblesandballoons that's good! Hmm it's hard to tell. It's probably clotting and general blood work up. That's good though, that'll give you a good overview of what's going on. Did they say how long it would take to get a result?

@mummatara oh that sucks, is it still very positive or fading quite a bit? Glad to hear you're doing well within yourself, hopefully the tests will be negative soon and you can move on from all this.

@Everythingzrosie haha well I took my temps today, utterly poo temp increase so who knows if I've actually ovulated. My body hates me, why can't it just do what normal peoples bodies do 😂

@Cheetocat I don't think there is any rhyme or reason to how the body grieves. I still grieve and it's been a long time for me. I would always recommend distractions such as cooking, gardening, cleaning - that does help to not focus on the situation too much.

@Luna57 our bodies are weird, very weird things. This cycle I defo noticed tingling in the ol' boobage area. I don't usually notice it so much but I think hormones can do crazy things at times. I also get slightly cloudy EWCM during fertile periods. Never really figured out if that means I'm semi fertile or super duper fertile 🤷‍♀️ hopefully you feel better soon!

@LuckyMoonstone exams and ttc sounds like a fun combo! Glad you're doing ok. Honestly a month off ttc sounds blissful right now 😂

@ChickenT2b that's some good mileage there! I've done 4 attempts so far but I need to decide if I give it one last go tonight given my temps are fairly uninspiring this morning. Are you joining me in not touching DH until our next fertile period?! 😂 we are doing the DNA Fragmentation test. I've had literally all the tests done so it's his turn now...🙃

@bunnykins123thanks, not sure wether I had all the tests I was meant to today as they only took 3 vials 🤷🏼‍♀️. Hopefully they won’t have me waiting too long for the results.

@ChickenT2b that’s a good effort. Fingers crossed you get your bfp. I think ultimately you do what feels right for you when it comes to ttc.

@MrsCristianoX glad you are ttc again and joining us in the tww.

@Cheetocat sorry your having a hard day. Due dates are a hard one to deal with, hope you are looking after yourself x

Not much to report from my camp. PT still positive one week post surgery I'm just here waiting waiting always waiting. On a positive note I do feel ok in myself and I haven't bled at all

@ChickenT2b i love that as a sign 😍 I think it’s just a really good thing when you’re ready to start looking for them again 🌈 I’m on cycle 5 since mc and haven’t been doing so before, but this month I genuinely feel more positive and open to looking for them!♥️

@Luna57 24 November so I will get results maybe 2 days after. Full blood profile, cholesterol and bp. Last month was just awful. If it doesn't work this month at least i have been happier (as is DH😂) nightmare about the colds going round. DS is in a student house and he brings it with him every week 🙄

@Bubblesandballoons we’ve done most days this month but my hubby to be turns 40 in January so probably every other day would have been best.
Thinking of getting him tested if we don’t conceive this month… @bunnykins123 which test are you using for hubby?

@Cheetocat I’m just one month ahead of you on cycle 6 post mc. I found it quite a relief to get the due date behind me to be honest. I felt it very much was lingering ahead. A sad day but a day closer to your rainbow 🌈

@Babydustmamma aw I haven’t seen any rainbows BUT before my mc we called our little one chicken nugget, but usually ‘nugs’ for short and this week I was just browsing online and saw a little toddler jumper with the words “chicken nugs and mama hugs”. It’s gone in the basket for safe keeping 😌. Hoping it’s a sign 🌈

@bunnykins123 sorry for the delay! We have tried 5 times over 7 days. Might try once more today just in case I ovulated today and not yesterday 🤔 think we’d both appreciate a night off though!!
Arghh this is cycle 6 post mc so really crossing fingers now 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@MrsCristianoX just one of those viral coughs courtesy of a snotty toddler. Hopefully be gone soon 🤞🏼 When are your blood tests to see how the meds worked?

@Luna57 are you ok? Is it covid?

@LuckyMoonstone the tablets made me v sick. Was on them for 5 weeks. 🤞 for blood test 😂

@MrsCristianoX oh I’m definitely out, I can barely dtd without coughing a lung up… very seductive 😂

@MrsCristianoX ooh are you allowed to TTC again now? Wasn’t sure how long you had to wait.

@bunnykins123 I’m alright thank you :) looking forward to TTC in December and enjoy exams at the same time haha. I hope all your hard work pays off this month 😆

@Luna57 I don't even want to think we will meet in an NI hospital because of the jinx factor. Better to think it'll never happen this cycle for me 🙄

@Luna57 🙌

@bunnykins123 thank you for the welcome back. I’m the same I had lots of slightly cloudy EWCM yesterday and the day before and today not as much. I’ve actually tender boobs today which I’ve never noticed during ovulation before. I never write anything down during cycles cos I’ve only ever tried for 2 cycles to get pregnant. The first being my ds which I tracked everything- how I felt, OPKs etc and the last time I was pregnant I tracked it lightly but sure I wasn’t even ovulating til a week after when I thought I was 😂 when I looked back on premom from dec 2020 I had tender boobs over ovulation and 2 days of EWCM before I ovulated so maybe today is O day who knows 😂

we must be all syncing up TWW’s here ladies 😂

@bunnykins123 Thank you, I didn't expect to feel this down since I already did a lot of grieving and healing. Hope your tww flies by!

@LuckyMoonstone I've just started the TWW too (sigh)

@bunnykins123 oh good luck!! We can go crazy together 😜I’m already panicking!

@Everythingzrosie sounds like we are cycle buddies! I had the pain last night too so think I've O'd. Oh god, here we go into the TWW 😂

@LuckyMoonstone hi lovely 👋 im still here! Yeh I think tracking your cycle is a good call, just to get an idea of what day you O etc. I'm either on O day or 1dpo (I suspect the latter). Threw the kitchen sink at it this month but will probably be unsuccessful 🙄 how are you doing?

@Cheetocat im so sorry to hear that today is your due dates. Those dates are hard 😢 it's totally natural to feel sadness at that time. I still feel sadness at my 1st mmc due date 4 years ago, I think it always stays with you in some way. Big hugs from me 💕

@Luna57 welcome back lovely! Glad you're doing ok. I get a mixture of EWCM and EWCM which is a bit cloudy and I never really know what's my most fertile cm. I get O pains in the build up to O and it peaks on O day, so I always have an idea of when it's about to happen. Ah me too, worst virus type thing I've had in a long time, so I suspect that's nuked my eggs as I had 5 days of fever!

Hi, I haven't posted in a while but I will be ttc this month after taking a month off when I was on holiday without my SO for two weeks. This will be our 5th month of trying since the loss. The baby we lost was supposed to be due today, I've been upset about it for the past two weeks. I can't stop thinking about what could have been.

Hi all, I’ve been lurking in the background from the last thread. I’ve no idea what my actual cd is, I had spotting for a few days before af like bleeding during Mc. If I go by first day of red spotting in pregnancy I’d be cd32 if I went by when the bleeding got to like af I’d be Cd26. I’ve had EWCM last 2 days and half EWCM and creamy cm today. I’m not tracking with OPKs but found a wee lonely strip in my draw from 2020 when I was tracking with ds, it was faint so not sure where that leaves me during the fertile window. I’ve had an ache on my side and hip for 3 days now. I’m not holding my breathe this cycle, I’ve been ill ever since mc just colds and coughs my immune system must be low.

hope everyone is ok!

Hello all just checking in. CD 23 now and just started to get ewcm today. Even though we are not TTC this cycle I still want to keep an eye on ovulation. So I am using OPKs and my ovusense (when I remember!). It will be very weird to DTD using protection next time we do it, I’d rather just not bother doing it at all 😂

Hope everyone is ok! Lots of new names I haven’t chatted to much whilst I’ve been having a break. Where is everyone at in their cycle?

@bunnykins123 yes I think the more children you gave, the more obvious it becomes. I’ve had 5 children and I’m very aware of my body now. So today is 2ww day 1 because yesterday was intense pains and today I have the ache x

@Babydustmamma fingers crossed! We've had a lot of bfps on this group recently which is lovely!

@Bubblesandballoons exactly the same as you! I had o-6, o-4, o-2 and o which I assume was last night as I had all the usual cramping over night so last nights was probably too late. Oh I've had the works tested. I'm just waiting to get DH tested but couldn't this week as I obvs needed his spermies 😂 let me know if you specifically want to know what I've had tested though, happy to explain. The one thing that's come back as abnormal for me is high NK cells which I'm now on meds for.

@Everythingzrosie dependant on when I'm due to O, I get pains for up to a week too. I only got this since having DD. I find the longer my cycle, the more crampy I am. When I O, I get backache and hip ache the side I'm O from so it kinda builds up to that. Then completely disappears. I've had all the tests done apart from testing for endo - all normal. I think age and previous children is a factor in it. Have you had any scans done?

@ChloeN @Everythingzrosie DH is defo at that stage now, bless him!

@EsmeSusanOgg im so sorry to hear about your loss. Good luck with whatever decision you decide to take. This ttc business is stressful especially after you've experienced a loss 💕

Period due in 4 days. Had a positive last month on period due day and the day after, but then had bleeding a couple of days later (period due the Tuesday, bleeding Friday). Sort of v early miscarriage/ chemical territory. Had a miscarriage at 12 weeks in the summer. Have everything crossed for this month, where we hit the fertile window quite successfully. But also a bit nervous. Not quite brave enough to test yet.
